3. WSF 7 years (part 3, 23 January - The Future Movements of the Forum
Description : After 7 years of social fora all around the world, we find
ourselves increasingly in a moment of self-reflection, around different
questions.
How can the Forum be made politically more usefull?
In how far is the Forum a process tie-ing together the experiences in local
and regional process and how should we relate to other initiatives and
spaces, as for example the autonomous spaces around the Forum?
To what extent is the world social forum reproducing exclusions and
practices of the neocolonial capitalist order, and how can these be overcome?
Coordinators - Nicolas Haeringer, Raphael Hoetmer, Madhuresh Kumar, Thomas
Ponniah, Teivo Teivainen.
